10 Welcome to Burlington

Welcome to the City of Burlington, we are glad you have chosen
to stay with us. While you are here, we hope you can take some
time to enjoy what our area has to offer. So many different journeys
can begin in the “Hub City” of Burlington.
Within a few hours’ drive of Burlington are 2 major international
cities of Seattle, WA and Vancouver B.C. To our east is the Cascade
Loop Scenic Highway; taking you to Leavenworth, Lake Chelan
and Winthrop. To the west are the picturesque San Juan Islands
with whale watching tours as a highlight.
Burlington offers may diverse recreational opportunities. The
Steve Sexton Skagit River runs along our southern border, and is home to all five
Mayor native species of salmon and two species of trout. In the winters,
the Skagit is home to one of the largest bald eagle populations in
Term Expires the United States. If you are looking to bike or hike, we have trails
12/31/2019 for both in our area that offer world class views.
Burlington also is home to one of the largest soccer complexes in America, hosting
soccer tournaments, frisbee tournaments, and a new Quidditch Festival. In June our
Berry Dairy Days Parade and Festival attracts visitors from all over the region, and in
September our Harvest Festival features a Pumpkin Pitch competition. Seeing trebuchets
hurl pumpkins hundreds of feet through the air is a sight enjoyed by thousands.
Shopping at our malls, dining out at one of our various restaurants, or visiting our
Children’s Museum are also great choices for you while you are here.
I hope you can enjoy some of the things Burlington offers and you enjoy your time
with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon…
